This could be for a new reservation only. I would check before making the purchase.

Also, you might have to book the cruise thru citi travel agency too

It says you have to already have a booking number...you have to have already bought a cruise to have a booking number.

 

When I called she said you had to have booked directly with Carnival.

 

Hope that helps!

It seems legit. I'm planning to purchase 5 plus a couple more with my thank you rewards.

[carsastic]

cap one no hassel rewards card/ older one ( not available any longer) had the same for carnival... 10%

[nw2this]

How long does the whole process take? How long does it take for them to arrive in the mail? then after you mail it in how long does it take for processing? I want to make sure I get everything done before final payment is due.

I bought several a few years ago with my Thank You points, and Carnival refused to accept them for my booked cruise. I kept them and was able to use them on the next cruise I booked, so it turned out fine.

Two people on another thread said they had no problem. I just ordered some, I didn't have any other plans for the points, so if they don't take them nothing lost. If they do take them $200 gained. I won't use them next cruise because I'll probably try NCL, HAL, or MSC next.

i have a citi thank you network card and after 10,000 points can redeem for a $100.00 voucher. I've used on last cruise as well as this cruise. after cruise is booked, I wrote info down (made copy as well) sent it in, and the $100.00 was credited to my account off my cruise :) figured, gotta get something good on using dang credit cards lol

Can they be used for OBC? My cruise is already paid off but would love to save 10% and have some OBC prepaid...

TIA:)

They will probably get more, but as of today the Carnival Citi Extra Cash Certs are completely sold out!

 

When I purchased mine the 100's were sold out, so I had to purchase 50's (50's cost more in shipping). But now both denominations are all gone.
